National Fellowships

Governor's Fellows Program (Virginia)

Qualified applicants must be graduating college seniors or enrolled as degree candidates in a graduate or professional school. Applicants must be enrolled in a Virginia college or university or must be a Virginia resident if enrolled in an out-of-state institution. They must also have a demonstrated commitment to excellence in academics, proven leadership ability, and involvement in extracurricular activities and community service. The selection of Fellows will be based solely on merit, without regard to race, sex, national origin, religion, age, disability, or political affiliation. Fellows will be required to work full-time in Virginia state government. Participants are placed in different positions throughout the Governor's Office and in various agencies under the Governor's jurisdiction. The program attempts to match Fellows with compatible assignments according to background, interests and future goals.
